Free City of Sunder

Sunder was one of the Free Cities in The Tiers; unlike the major Free Cities of the Four Brothers, it lay within Stalwart's borders rather than Haven's. Before Kyros subjugated Sunder, it boasted a culture of stonemasons and architects who prided themselves on their ability to build and shape their homes from the surrounding rock. The Queen of Sunder carried a powerful hammer as her badge of office, which was said to be the very tool that shaped the city's foundation stone. Legends say that when the Archon of Stone attempted to collapse the city, the Queen raised the hammer and supported an entire district, giving thousands of citizens the opportunity to flee as the city slowly pressed down and immured her in the very rocks she fought to defend.
